With over thirty years in the saddle and fifteen years as a USA Cycling Level 1 Expert Coach, I combine deep competitive experience with a rigorous, data-driven approach. My coaching philosophy is rooted in science and precision, using advanced tools like WKO5 data analytics and power training to tailor plans to the individual.
I specialize in road, gravel, MTB, CX, and ultra-endurance distances, having guided athletes to national podiums, state championships, world senior games championships, and victories in grueling events like RAAM (Race Across America, where I coached the 2021 men's overall champion), RAW (Race Across the West), Leadville, and Unbound, just to name a few. My methodology focuses on the "minimal effective dose" concept: inducing just enough stress to maximize gains in speed and strength while ensuring full recovery. Having experience in nutrition and strength/mobility also enables my athletes to achieve success.
Beyond the numbers, I am a firm believer in long-term athlete development. I prioritize teaching my athletes to self-monitor their minds and bodies, fostering a coach-athlete relationship built on absolute trust. I balance elite-level training and performance with the realities of family and professional and personal life.
My mission is simple: to empower, challenge, and motivate you beyond what you thought was possible.
Ride! Fight! No surrender!
